A different way to care
Caring for others has always been a part of who I am.
Before becoming a massage therapist, I worked as an ambulance attendant in France, accompanying people to their medical appointments. It was already a profession where listening, attentiveness, and empathy played an important role. In my personal life as well, I have always been someone who enjoys taking care of family and friends.
In 2017, professional burnout forced me to stop. My body and mind were telling me that I needed to slow down and reconsider my priorities. I no longer really felt like myself, and I needed to return to something simpler, calmer, and more aligned with who I was.
That was when I decided to turn to massage therapy.
I wanted a people-focused profession where I could care for others, listen to them, and give them a moment to slow down and take care of themselves.
Trained in Swedish massage, among other techniques, I gradually developed my own way of working: an approach where relaxation and muscular work can complement each other according to each person’s needs. Even when a massage involves deeper work, I make sure to preserve comfort and relaxation.
Understanding What Is Happening in Our Bodies
A few years later, I felt the need to deepen my understanding of well-being.
At the time, I was going through perimenopause, experiencing physical and emotional changes that I did not always understand. Since my burnout, I had already become very interested in personal development, meditation, and different ways of taking care of myself. But I wanted to better understand what was happening in my body and what I could incorporate into my daily life.
This journey is what led me to naturopathy.
I discovered an approach that considers several aspects of our lifestyle, including nutrition, sleep, stress, physical activity, and our daily habits.
At first, this training met a personal need: to better understand my body and take care of myself in everyday life. Over time, it also became a new way for me to support others.
Continuing to Learn to Better Support Others
Over the years, the needs of my clients also evolved.
Some of the people I had been working with for years appreciated my massages for their relaxing qualities, but they also began talking to me about more specific tension, muscular discomfort, or difficulty with certain movements.
I felt that I needed to better understand how the body works from a biomechanical perspective and expand my range of tools.
This naturally led me to kinesitherapy.
This training allowed me to deepen my understanding of movement and integrate new techniques into my practice, including mobilizations, traction, joint decompression, and stretching, as well as fascia therapy, Deep Tissue, therapeutic cupping, IASTM, and lymphatic drainage.
Today, these different tools allow me to further personalize my sessions. Depending on the person’s needs, a massage can remain deeply relaxing while incorporating more targeted techniques when appropriate.
My Mission
Today, massage therapy, kinesitherapy, and naturopathy are three different disciplines, but they share the same intention: taking the time to listen to each person and support them according to their needs and individual circumstances.
I especially enjoy working with people who want to become more attentive to their bodies, better understand what they are feeling, and make their well-being a more regular priority in their lives.
Whether you are experiencing physical or emotional stress, tension, discomfort with certain movements, or simply feel the need to slow down and take care of yourself, my approach remains caring and personalized.
My mission is to support you in feeling better in your body and mind, while encouraging you to take care of yourself over time, at your own pace and in a way that fits your lifestyle.
